Re: Project: Brava-dime
UPDATE:
finally got all the roofs welds and doors welds completed and knocked down and gonna have my buddy do his "heat and shrink" with his torch and cold rag to get sum of the bad warpage out and then use his stud gun and slide hammer to help keep the body filler to a minimum. was able to get the clutch pedal finalized with roundbar for alittle more strenth. got the radiator recessed into the core support as well as the firewall wire "port" rewelded in its new location. alot of little things but then again, little things make big results in the end. also below are the new rear bumper, FREEBEE from a guy i recently bagged his dime and the only part of the build not white. finally the cavalier intake i got off ebay, $38 shipped.................. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Project: Brava-dime
that would be pretty crazy.. a fwd s10, hell you could have the entire floor pretty much sitting directly on the ground so no loss of space at all, and the old driveshaft tunnel would work for the exhaust. Using a 4x4 front clip would give you your suspension with camber needed to lay a larger wheel and then obviously provide the hubs to connect the half shalfs from the FWD tranny too.
then out back a simple 2 link would work great since there wouldnt be any pinion angle to worry about and simply run a blank piece of tube with cavy type wheel bearing hubs attached so there would be allmost nothing to move in the bed. Hell ya could put the irs setup out of the back of the car there, too and have 4 wheel camber with 4 wheel disk brakes. Last edited by 98layinframe : 12-24-2008 at 12:54 PM. |

Re: Project: Brava-dime
The biggest problem you would run into with FWD would be the limited range of motion for the CV axles.
BTW, GM did make a FWD S10...it was electric. |

yeah, the electric s10's were FWD. the ass end was loaded with batteries that probably weighed 1000 lbs.
